- Background: Gastrointestinal inflammation has been linked with Parkinson's disease (PD). Microscopic colitis (MC) is an intestinal inflammatory disease with unknown relationship with PD.Objective: This study aimed to examine the association of MC with PD risk.Methods: In this nationwide matched cohort study in Sweden, PD incidence was compared between 12,609 patients with histologically confirmed MC and a matched population cohort of 58,879 MC-free individuals and a sibling cohort comprising all unaffected siblings of the MC patients (N-MC/N-Sibling = 6281/12,351). Hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated using Cox regression models.Results: During a mean follow-up of similar to 7 years, we identified 449 incident PD diagnoses among the MC patients and the population cohort. Overall, MC was associated with an adjusted HR of 1.76 for PD, but the association attenuated substantially during follow-up. In the time-varying effects model, PD hazard was 3.45-fold (95% CI: 2.42, 4.93) higher during the first 2 years after biopsy and 1.80-fold (95% CI: 1.23, 2.64) higher during the following 3 years among MC versus MC-free individuals but was not different beyond 5 years after biopsy (HR: 1.03; 95% CI: 0.68, 1.54). This temporal pattern of MC-PD associations persisted when comparing MC patients to their siblings. In a post hoc case-control analysis, we also detected a strong association between MC and preexisting PD (odds ratio: 3.46; 95% CI: 2.91, 4.12).Conclusions: Our findings suggest that MC may not be a risk factor for PD; instead, it may co-occur with PD as a comorbidity or develop after a diagnosis of PD.

- Objective: To examine the association between microscopic colitis (MC) and Parkinson’s disease (PD) risk.Background: Gastrointestinal inflammation has been linked with PD. MC is a chronic intestinal inflammatory disease; however, its relationship with PD is unknown.Design/Methods: A population-based matched cohort study was conducted to estimate the association between MC and incident PD diagnosis using Cox regression models. An exposed cohort of 12,609 MC patients diagnosed 1990–2017 and aged ≥35 years at diagnosis was identified from the Epidemiology Strengthened by histoPathology Reports in Sweden cohort (ESPRESSO). Two unexposed cohorts were compared to: a population cohort comprising 58,879 MC-free individuals randomly selected from the population and 1:5 matched to each MC patient by age, sex, year of biopsy and county of residence at the time of biopsy; and a sibling cohort (NMC/NSibling=6,281/12,351) including all siblings of the MC patients. Follow-up was from the date of biopsy until December 31st 2016 at latest.Results: During a mean follow-up of ~7 years, we identified 449 incident PD diagnoses among the MC patients and their matched population cohort. The overall PD risk was 76% higher among MC versus MC-free individuals; but the association attenuated substantially during follow-up. In the time-varying effects model, PD risk was 3.45-fold (95% CI: 2.42, 4.93) higher during the first 2 years after biopsy and 1.80-fold (95% CI: 1.23, 2.64) higher during the following 3 years among MC versus MC-free individuals, but was not differential beyond 5 years after biopsy (hazard ratio=1.03; 95% CI: 0.68, 1.54). This temporal pattern of MC-PD associations persisted in sibling analyses. Using a matched case-control design, we also observed a higher prevalence of prior PD diagnosis among MC patients than the matched MC-free individuals (odds ratio=3.46; 95% CI: 2.91, 4.12).Conclusions: Our findings suggest that MC may not be a risk factor, but rather a comorbidity or complication of PD.

- Background and purpose: Evidence has accumulated to support the early involvement of altered gastrointestinal (GI) function in neurodegenerative disease. However, risk of Alzheimer disease (AD) and Parkinson disease (PD) among individuals with a GI biopsy of normal mucosa or nonspecific inflammation is unknown.Methods: This matched cohort study included all individuals in Sweden with a GI biopsy of normal mucosa (n = 480,346) or nonspecific inflammation (n = 655,937) during 1965-2016 (exposed group) as well as their individually matched population references and unexposed full siblings. A flexible parametric model and stratified Cox model were used to estimate hazard ratio (HR) and its 95% confidence interval (CI).Results: Individuals with normal mucosa or nonspecific inflammation had a higher risk of AD and PD during the 20 years after biopsy. Compared with the population references, individuals with normal mucosa had an increased risk of AD (incidence rate [IR] difference = 13.53 per 100,000 person-years, HR [95% CI] = 1.15 [1.11-1.20]) and PD (IR difference = 6.72, HR [95% CI] = 1.16 [1.10-1.23]). Elevated risk was also observed for nonspecific inflammation regarding AD (IR difference = 13.28, HR [95% CI] = 1.11 [1.08-1.14]) and PD (IR difference = 6.83, HR [95% CI] = 1.10 [1.06-1.14]). Similar results were observed in subgroup and sensitivity analyses and when comparing with their unexposed siblings.Conclusions: Individuals with a GI biopsy of normal mucosa or nonspecific inflammation had an increased risk of AD and PD. This adds new evidence of the early involvement of GI dysfunction in neurodegenerative disease.
